Wine Spectator, 93 Points 

"Vibrant and flush with tension, revealing green apple flavors highlighted by lemon verbena and crushed stone notes as this zips toward the brisk finish. Drink now. 210 cases made." 

Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"A classic set of yellow apple, smoky toasted hazelnut, lime and chalk aromas lead into flavors like tart lemon zest, mint tea and Italian basil. The wine's lean and light texture accompanies mouthpuckering acidity. I'd let this acid cut a swath through fatty tuna sushi." 

Winemaker Notes:

"Medium straw, flecked with gold. The nose is filled with ripe peaches and cream, apple chips and a whiff of lemongrass. Lively and nervous on the palate the wine is juicy, bright, and bursting with stone fruits, green apple and tangerine. Quite fresh and appealing, flinty even, this wine will gain in complexity with bottle aging." 

Alcohol: 12.8%
